  1. 23:00 The car software obviously should implement a feature that prevents the battery from going totally empty because of pressing ERS button. I would totally expect the future buyers to do the same thing even if the risk of emptying battery was mentioned in the manual somewhere.

  2.  @Keatoil  I write software for living (not car software, though) and I know perfectly well that most issues like this are caused by slight errors in the requirements for the software before the software is actually written. Hindsight is always 20/20. That said, I strongly believe that this is just a bug in the software of this car.

  3. 9:00 "The badge in the front is metal because we don't use stickers or painted stuff" And then he basically describes a thing that could be equally well implemented as laser cut aluminium sticker. I guess the real intent of this badge is that the expected customer base will have a nice story to tell to their friends about the car that they purchased.

  4. I would have loved to see the Valkyrie running on real slicks.

  5.  @embxssyy9936  If the car has intergrated starter motor, it might make sense to always have enough reserve to start the engine once, right? Real F1 cars do not have starter engines so there you can let the battery go totally empty because the car cannot be started standalone no matter what you do.
